Rosanna Hernandez, 28, one of eight people living in the home, said everybody got out safely. On Wednesday morning, after firefighters had left the home, Hernandez and her fiancé were outside the house wrapped in blankets.

Hernandez said she woke up shortly before 5 a.m. and found smoke in the hallway.

"I started screaming to get everybody out," Hernandez said.

Firefighters rescued their German shepherd puppy, she said. Two other dogs and four cats got out safely, but their cockatiel did not make it, Hernandez added.

Hernandez said three cars in the driveway caught on fire.

"We all ran down the street because the cars were already on fire," Hernandez said. "We thought my sister's car was going to blow up."
